Fountain on 't Zand in Bruges, Belgium (August 2008)

The sculptures in and around this fountain are in four groups: "The Bathing Ladies" (symbolizing the Flemish cities of Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp and Kortrijk), "Flemish Landscape," "The Fishermen," and "The Cyclists" (who abound here). Perched on a column above the rest is Tyl Uylenspiegel, the mythical prankster claimed by many Germanic countries under different spellings.

Bruges was too photogenic for one page, so there are six altogether. Here are links to the others:
